into ashes 02:40
snowflakes fall behind frosty windows they dance without a sound inside the girl sits watching the fire just waiting outside the sun in slowly setting its glow is almost gone inside the girl sits watching the fire just waiting wait, child, wait the fire will die soon embers fading into ashes night has come the house is still and silent everything asleep the girl glides through the hallway just looking look, child, look feel your mother's tears her pillow's damp, her body resting she is alone the girl places her icy fingers around the woman's hand the body stirs for the last time and sleeps wake, mother, wake your child has come to you fly together out in the moonlight and travel home

she sits by the sea watching the tide as the waves lap quietly on the shore she thinks soon this whole beach will be underwater without a trace of what was once here before here is my lullaby, just a simple melody wash me away tonight wordlessly she stares at the sun setting over the water as a thousand shades of orange fill the sky the thinks soon the horizon will drift and fade the ocean and stars collide here is my lullaby, just a simple melody wash me away tonight wordlessly she lays herself down upon the rocks and breathes in the salty night air listens to the sounds that surround her closes her eyes, silently recites a prayer here is my lullaby, just a simple melody wash me away tonight wordlessly

mirror child 03:36
she wanders up the bar, loose change in her hand and she drops her pack on the floor looks at the tender, says, "sir, give me whatever you can, as long as it's strong, I don't care much anymore cause I've been out of luck for awhile now born under a bad sign I'll trade you a story for just one smile how could anyone ever want to be mine?" beautiful, beautiful girl moving gracefully what a mystery you are hair tucked in her hat switchblade in her shoe that she's used several times before swallows her drink, grins, the burn is acute she says, "I don't get whiskey like that much anymore cause I've been out of luck for awhile born under a bad sign I'll trade you a story for just one smile how could anyone ever want to be mine?" beautiful, beautiful girl watching silently what a mystery you are she sets down her glass, stands, and picks up her bag smiles and says, "goodbye" clothes are tattered and torn, merely feathers and rags "winter is coming, I'll see you on the sunny side" beautiful, beautiful girl wandering carelessly what a mystery you are "cause I've been out of luck for awhile born under a bad sign I'll trade you a story for just one smile how could anyone ever want to be mine?"
